Starbucks has been looking to increase its presence in the
fast-growing single-cup coffee market and Green Mountain is considered one of its leaders. Rumors swirled last
month that the two were in potential partnership talks.

The agreement announced today between the Seattle coffee chain and the single-serve coffee brew maker
provides for the manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sale of the pods
for Green Mountain's Keurig single-cup brewing system.
